Genders tend to have a weird "team" mentality. When people say things like this, they tend to ignore the assholery of their own gender. In reality, the more accurate generalization would probably just be People are assholes.
Then why call it "feminism"? Why not "humanism" or "equality"?Erana said:
The intended definition of feminism may indeed be equality between the sexes, but the word itself emphasises a feminine point of view, and quite a few feminists actively encourage discrimination against men - they call it "positive discrimination" as if there can be any such thing. To some self-professed feminists it's nothing more than a revenge fantasy for generations of perceived poor treatment at the hands of men, but taking it out on today's men, most of whom have never in their lives even thought about oppressing any woman.
I want to see true equality between men and women, but I would never call myself a feminist, the word has too much other baggage attached.
Just look at your reaction- the term immediately illicits the idea of women getting so many more rights than they, by current standards, should have. That's exactly why the term became the name for wanting equal rights between the sexes. At the dawn of feminism, the idea of women being peers to men was outrageous, and therefore, the term implied exactly what it was intending to do.lithium.jelly said:
Nowadays, the gap has gotten a lot closer, but the word still remains. The term's been around for over 100 years, though, and saying that one should abstain from Feminism or anything relating to the term because its antiquated name may suggest something is irrational.
i'm an asshole, and damn proud of it, if someone dosen't like it, well, not like i cared about them anyways. 
FFS THANKYOU!Zeeky_Santos said:Hey, pretty much all women suck at sending signals that are easy to interpret. It's sad but true.
Women out there, if you like us, flirt. If you just want to be friends, don't act super nice and interested, because we think that means something more.
Only a man would start a thread like this...
Just kidding, in all seriousness I as a female can't stand women like that. I mean I understand that before and including fifty years ago women rallying for their rights was needed to bring about equal rights but now it seems like most "feminists" want women to have more rights than men.

My reaction to girls like that:
"Aww thanks! How did you know I recently got my certificate of assholism?!" Then if they even mention the concept of being in love I berrate them with the whole you aren't even old enough to understand the concept of love you retard it was petty infatuation argument.

I think girls forget that they are, in fact, the most bitchiest gender. I hung around with guys when I were a wee lass, because even at the age of seven I could tell that girls in groups were friends one minute and then at each other's throats the next.
Growing up liking boys toys rather than girls toys may have saved me from a lifetime of bitching. I am thankful for men in this world. XD

You can't be an asshole you have a cute little bunny avatar!Judgement101 said:
I don't generalize about guys, I am more logical and fact based, I guess, and girls typically baffle me too. I have actually found that most of my guy friends point out what an asshole I was dating and will give me examples as to why I am better off without them. :/ I don't usually date the popular guys or the ones all the girls find attractive, as I have apparently different tastes. I have shocked some guys I have chosen to date... They have still ended up being assholes. IDK, I have some sort of invisible sign that says "Oh sure you can screw around on me with my one of my friends", I think. Even when my friends at the time wouldn't have given the guy a second look before I decided to go out with him. Maybe I have had a combination of a friend/boyfriend problem. Now most of my friends are straight guys, not much problem there you would think but they tend to make guys I date jealous so I can't win but I still like my guy friends better anyway, we have more in common.
So, I guess if you really want to be a friend to the girl spouting off like that you should not take it personally and try agreeing and pointing out the flaws with the guy she was dating. Although I expect most girls are going to defend him, go figure... It is really a matter of time passing more than anything you can do to get her through it. Just don't do it just because you are interested in her. That will probably leave you bitter and spouting off generalizations about girls. At some point also realize that you cannot always save someone from themselves no matter what you do. They are probably going to go screw it up again, decide for yourself what your limits are for dealing with the bs.
If you are interested in her, I am not so sure if you shouldn't just be unavailable at that point. We all want most that which we cannot have and it may save you a bit of emotional baggage of your own.
And yea, I have some of you guys in my past, one that is still my best friend and one that is super bitter at me, both extremes. All I can tell you is that there are things that attracted me to some guys and others just didn't have it even though I was not into the whole mainstream standards of attractiveness. A lot of it has to do with mannerisms that I cannot even explain. Confidence(not arrogance) and a sense of humor are always good things. And you will find them both useful regardless of situations. Just realize that it may be something that is just impossible for you to change. Make a decision on your limits to trying to convince her and cut your losses, it happens.
Prolly TLDR but hey that is what you are getting from me at 2 hours past my bedtime. It may not be sound advice at all but I bet it is somewhat logical...
My only problem is double standards. I don't take issue with someone who has been hurt who hasn't yet worked through their emotions. But to insinuate that a gender can be better or worse is pretty ludicrous. I know some girls who are high and flyin' on the female power trip, and don't realize that they are just as guilty of the double standards which they claim to despise in men.
Meh, Any statements like that are made out of ignorance and/or emotional stress. There's no reason for me to get mad over them. There also massively sexist which makes the speaker look like even more like an idiot.
When I hear a girl say "all men are assholes" I say "well maybe men won't be such assholes if women weren't such bitches".
